Malfoy's

The Others

Ron POV"Hermione have you seen Harry anywhere I can't seem to find him?""No idea Ron, I haven't seen him since breakfast, but he might be near Hagrid's if you haven't checked over there yet," she said, not looking up from the book she was reading. I left her to it and went outside, running into people occasionally. It's been 5 minutes since I last ran into someone."Woah!" I was expecting to land on the cold hard floor, but someone had caught me."Careful Ron.""Right, thx for catching—wait, ZABINI?""Yes?" he told me."Nothing," I said, not letting go of his hand. Weird, right?"You going somewhere?" he said, increasing his grip on my hands. Not a lot, so it didn't pain."Yeah, Hagrid's. Coming?" I asked casually."Yeah, sure. I ain't got nothin' better to do."

Zabini POV

I sat next to Weasley on Hagrid's grubby couch, which had the fur of at least a dozen animals. I was hoping to find Potter here because he would probably know where Draco is. Hagrid offered us some of his rock cakes; Ron declined and signalled me to do the same, but I took it because I was running on an empty stomach. The. Biggest. Mistake. Of. My. Life. I bit into it and probably cracked 4 of my teeth. Ron let out a chuckle when he saw my face. He wore a smug "I told you so" face.While Ron and Hagrid were talking about how Harry's been lately, I zoned out thinking that maybe Harry's and Draco's disappearances were related, but I realized it was probably not because they're "enemies."While Weasley and I were going back, we talked about how Trelawney's whole fashion sense needs a bit of a change."You know Weasley, you're not that bad.""You aren't that bad yourself, Zabini."

Flitz cat POVI was following Miss Parkinson for, well, fun, but ignore that and listen to what I found out—it's juicy. She went towards the Gryffindor dormitory. I thought she was going to pull a prank on them, though to my surprise, Miss Granger came out and hugged her. I went closer to hear what they were talking about."When should we tell them, Pans?" Miss Granger said."We can tell them tomorrow, though I'm concerned if they will be okay with us being together. Will they fight or be happy for us?" said Miss Parkinson."I'm not sure, love," Miss Granger said.I was stunned, so I left and went back to my owner, trying to process what I just heard and saw. I can't wait for tomorrow to see the drama unfold.

Snape POV

"Yes, I am still dead but I can still see what happens on earth."I watched with a ghostly smirk as Weasley and Zabini left Hagrid's hut, their unlikely camaraderie intriguing yet amusing. They were so consumed by their conversation about Trelawney's fashion sense that they didn't notice me observing from the shadows of the Forbidden Forest. I floated closer, relishing my new ethereal existence, free to observe and occasionally meddle without consequence.Soon, they would discover the truths about Potter and Malfoy, and the impending revelation of Granger and Parkinson's relationship would undoubtedly cause quite the stir. Ah, the drama of the living; it was almost more entertaining now that I wasn't part of it.With a swirl of my ghostly robes, I drifted back to the castle, eager to see how this all would unfold.
